Review on 🎧 Jensen Portable Stereo Cassette Player with AM/FM Radio and Sport Earbuds (Blue): Your Ultimate On-the-Go Audio Companion by John Brazington

If you're considering this product for 2020 and beyond, you're probably looking to convert some of those old audio cassettes you have around the house. I found a whole stack at my mom's house and agreed to help her convert them. I've looked at a few of these devices that you plug a flash drive into and it automatically converts the tape to a file, which would be ideal, but they all got such bad reviews that I thought I'd be better off choosing this one product instead and I do the transformation myself. I chose this product because it has a line out connector, what you need for the best conversion quality. The line out connector ignores the volume control, so you can record the tape at the original audio level it was recorded at and adjust it later if needed. You can connect the line out of this unit to your computer's mic in, or use a dedicated recording device, which I did since I have one, but my computer would work just as well. Keep in mind that on a modern Mac or PC that has the headphone/mic jack combined into a single port, you'll need a TRRS converter, but these are cheap and easy to find. The #1 tip I can give to anyone who wants to use this device to convert tapes is to buy an AC adapter (power cord) for it. It doesn't keep up and I didn't think running on AA batteries mattered. but I got all sorts of crazy speed deviations from it. I was expecting it to slow down when the batteries were running low, but basically it's constantly slowing down from the moment you put in new batteries when they run out. This is totally inappropriate. I wanted to return the item until I bought the power adapter and all my issues were resolved. That being said, as far as I can tell, they don't actually sell a power adapter, but it says right on the unit that it requires 3V DC, so I bought this universal adapter hoping one of the heads would fit: https: / /www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWU5L0CI. It works great and is quite cheap. Also, it's nice to have a power supply next time I need a power supply because it supports so many different voltages and connection ports. Another complaint I have is the lack of a rewind button. One of the other reviewers said they didn't think it would bother them, but it did, and I totally agree. I didn't think it mattered, but it's really annoying to have to flip the tape and fast-forward only to rewind on the other side, not to mention that fast-forward is so damn slow that you can't read the cassette just play it! The sound quality was excellent, I think as excellent as these tapes have ever been. I don't convert music, and neither should you (unless it's your own band, better versions are available on literally every other platform). and cassettes with recorded voices. It's nice to have memories, especially of some relatives who are no longer with us. In general, this is a cheap product, but you will not find an expensive cassette player in 2020. If that is what you need I would try eBay,
